This hotel is not fancy. It is clean, but old. The reason I recommend it so highly is that it is oceanfront and has the best outdoor bar with live music! The Happy Hour is the best in town. The crowd is always fun and the staff is friendly and helpful. Do they need to upgrade the hotel? Yes, but...

Ladies weekend at OCMD staying at CITS. This was our 10th anniversary. We love it here. The balcony with ocean view is breathtaking! What a wonderful gesture by the staff as they treated us with a complimentary bottle of wine placed in the bucket of sand (how appropriate!) with fresh flowers to celebrate our 10th year. We love the atmosphere...

This a the perfect hotel for families. We stayed on the top floor facing the ocean. I'd wake up every morning and have my coffee on the balcony before everyone else awakened, watching the sunrise, beachwalkers and early morning surfers. The kitchen has a mini fridge, fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans and utensils but there's no dishwasher. I suggest...

We liked the location just north of the end of the boardwalk. Good value for the price. My husband liked the ocean front room but the room didn't have a balcony so the window didn't open to appreciate the unseasonably warm weather. The hotel could use some updating. The bathroom was small. there was ample parking on the private lot.

I never write reviews, but what the heck, i figure this place was awesome enough that it warrents one.
Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, not loud, beach front.
Cons: bathroom is a little cramped, but who really cares.

Castle in the Sand is tops! We have rented a condo in Ocean City for our Sept. family reunions for 8 years, now..and this one is the best! The hotel is expanding, and has taken over many formerly privately owned condos, footsteps from the beach, which means we not only got the benefit of a family space to visit and...

I stayed here on business, great location ! Located behind the sand dunes down the beach. Walk out toward the Ocean between the dunes and Wow there she is the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean ! Beach is wide and wonderful. Family built and owned since the 1950's. I had a Suite, it was huge ! Great living room with a balcony...

We came after the season, but it was warm enough for the beach. The rates were great and the room/suite was really spacious and clean. We had two queen beds with kitchen and living/dining room. The living room looked out onto the beach with a picture window and balcony. Plenty of comfortable seating for six (the number the room sleeps)...

We stayed here for a big event that was hosted right outside the hotel. We arrived really late and it was a short stay but I wished we would have been able to make one more day out of it! Because we got there so late, we were tired and couldn't really get a sense of the hotel. Our group...

This establishment is a party spot. Loud and not very clean...in fact I would classify it as dirty. Our first room smelled of marijuana. So bad so that it caused a respiratory reaction. Second room was ok. Very basic accommodations, especially the basic bathroom. One elevator was out of service for the entire weekend. Hallways and stairwells dirty and closer...
